No road markings

Gosford Council's local traffic committee has rejected the idea of painting the intersection of Ocean Beach Rd and Dunban Rd with "keep clear" road markings.

The request for the road marking came from a local resident who reported to council that traffic trying to exit Dunban Rd queue across the intersection of Dunban Rd and Ocean Beach Rd.

"Keep Clear markings are used at T-intersections where queued traffic prevent traffic in the side road from turning right into a clear through lane," a council staff report stated.

"At this intersection, northbound traffic is unlikely to queue while southbound traffic could be queued back from the McMasters Rd signals.

"Placing Keep Clear pavement markings would encourage Dunban Rd traffic waiting to turn right, to make a movement that would cause their vehicle to be illegally in the Keep Clear area."
